  2. Garage door - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garage_door

    The most common causes of injury from garage door systems include falling doors, pinch points, improperly adjusted opener force settings, and safety eyes, attempts at do-it-yourself repair without the proper knowledge or tools, and uncontrolled release of spring tension (on torsion spring systems). A garage door with a broken spring or the ...

  3. Torsion spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_spring

    Small, coiled torsion springs are often used to operate pop-up doors found on small consumer goods like digital cameras and compact disc players. Other more specific uses: A torsion bar suspension is a thick, steel torsion-bar spring attached to the body of a vehicle at one end and to a lever arm which attaches to the axle of the wheel at the ...

  4. Torsion bar suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_bar_suspension

    A torsion bar suspension, also known as a torsion spring suspension, is any vehicle suspension that uses a torsion bar as its main weight-bearing spring. One end of a long metal bar is attached firmly to the vehicle chassis; the opposite end terminates in a lever, the torsion key, mounted perpendicular to the bar, that is attached to a ...

  5. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

    In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

  6. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(device)

    Springs can be classified depending on how the load force is applied to them: Tension/extension spring The spring is designed to operate with a tension load, so the spring stretches as the load is applied to it. Compression spring Designed to operate with a compression load, so the spring gets shorter as the load is applied to it. Torsion spring

  7. Rebar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar

    Rebar (short for reinforcement bar or reinforcing bar), known when massed as reinforcing steel or steel reinforcement, [1] is a tension device added to concrete to form reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and aid the concrete under tension.

  8. Crash bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_bar

    A crash bar (also known as a panic exit device, panic bar, or bump bar) [1] [2] is a type of door opening mechanism which allows users to open a door by pushing a bar. While originally conceived as a way to prevent crowd crushing in an emergency, crash bars are now used as the primary door opening mechanism in many commercial buildings.

  9. Balance spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_spring

    The balance spring is a fine spiral or helical torsion spring used in mechanical watches, alarm clocks, kitchen timers, marine chronometers, and other timekeeping mechanisms to control the rate of oscillation of the balance wheel. The balance spring is an essential adjunct to the balance wheel, causing it to oscillate back and forth.
